I had a party last night. My neighbour who visits regularly had connected to my WiFi before.

Suddenly all sorts of people were using my WiFi and controlling my Sonos. Turns out that the iPhone allows instant sharing of MY wifi password??

Is there anything I can do to stop Apple devices doing this?
 
You mean your neighbour shared your Wi-fi password with other guests ;)

Change your password and don’t give it out to people you can’t trust.

Yes I do get requests on my phone whether I’d like to share the password. I say yes or I say no ;)
 
Use a guest network. I actually like this feature, as it allowed me to share the WiFi password with my MacBook at my friends house when I forgot the password and only had it on my phone. I didn't realize you could share it with other people.
